<v Speaker 1>It is Thursday, March second. This is Jaguars Happy Hour

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and now newly registered mayoral candidate running under the Pity Party,

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Jay Peace Shadrick. Welcome in. It's Jaguars Happy Hour from

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. The NFL Scouting Combine.

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>The testing getting underway today, Media time starting to wrap

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>up on Radio Row. We've got a busy show ahead

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>for the next hour here at the combine. CBS Sports

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Senior writer Pete Frisco coming up. We'll hear from head

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>team position Kevin Kaplan. Yes, get his thoughts on you

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.599
<v Speaker 1>know what happens here in Indianapolis with the team doctors

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and Sirius XMNFL host Kirk Morrison joining us at about

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>four thirty or so today J P. Shadrick with senior

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>writer On Osier and more senior writer Pete Briscoe of

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>CBS Sports. So, in other words, we have a future

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>mayor and a former mayor of Jacksonville Saints still the mayor.

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>By the way, you don't look like Basselli. That music

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of Joe's introduction. Is that Monday night a

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>game you don't look Likesselli? Better shape and you know

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>more than he does incredible. Here we are Pete Combine time,

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the big flagpole event of the off season, one of them.

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>But this turned into a massive gathering and twelve hundred

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>credentialed media for this thing. And it's really two different events.

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's the coaching GM part to set the

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>tone for the off season for a lot of organizations.

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>And then the testing started today. I mean in this

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>place is starting to clear out because they're not worried

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>about that part. Well, and you know, you know me, John,

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I've never been a big testing guy. You put the

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>tape on, you watch the tape, you find out if

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>a guy can play football. The interviews are good, the

0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>medicals good, all that is important, but the actual workout.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>We've come here for years and seen guys come here

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and they work out, Oh he's great, and then he

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>get drafted and they don't play that well. And so

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you got to really evaluate him based on

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the tape. This thing is enormous, by the way, I

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.839
<v Speaker 1>think if you have a Draft Buddy leaflet, you're gonna

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>get a credential to this thing. NFL Draft siteeck dot net.

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and look, it's great for the game. It's

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 1>great for the kids who were doing it. But I

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>wish I had had an opportunity when I was a

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>young kid to be able to do something like that.

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>But it used to be in the thinking over there,

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in that hotel room over there, That's where it was.

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to hear your best twenty year old Combine story.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you mine real quick. First Combine, you were

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>with CBS already. I had just taken over for you

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>at the Times Union. My only interview with Tom Coffin,

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm the main Jaguars beat rider, my only interview with

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Tom Coffin all week. I chased him down as he

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>was going into the Catholic church over here across the

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>street at six third or ten minutes for mass. Talked

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to him for ten minutes formass. He gave me grief

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>because he said, you're putting our salary cap information into

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.519
<v Speaker 1>paper rosure. But that was where you got the coach.

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>There was no podium, no, there was no car wash,

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>there was no set stage, and I was worried all

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>we going gonna get Tom. And I finally got him

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>on the steps of the Catholic church at five fifty

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>on a Saturday, and I know you were here a

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of years before that, and I were here when

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.799
<v Speaker 1>there was nothing and they were trying to throw you out. Basically, Yeah,

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 1>well you had to interview guys in the lobby of

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the Crown Plaza right there, That's what it was. And

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>they'd bring it. If you'd asked for a player, they'd

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>bring him down. There'd be like four or five guys

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.399
<v Speaker 1>would talk to him. Sometimes you were the only guy

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>talking to him. It was just so much different. My

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>story is that first year I came was the year before, Yeah,

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the year they were drafted, that first draft pick, and

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember chasing Steve McNair down the road trying to

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>get them because remember there was some talk that they

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>might end up taking Steve McNair. There was that one,

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>then there was I remember one of those early years,

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it might have been year two, two agents actually got

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>in the fist fight in the lobby of them because

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>he was accusing his stealing is. Yeah, I thought you

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>were going to tell a different story about the first

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>time you came to the coll And then I think

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>it was ninety six when you called me and there

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>was a mob around Keishan and they remembered the story right,

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 1>And Jags had the number one pick. I mean I

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>had the number two pick and the Jets had the

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>number one, and Keshan went one and you asked him

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>about playing for Coffin, he went coach Coffee Cool. Yeah, yeah,

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>but he wasn't gonna play for him though, yeah now

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and then and then it worked out great because the

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer waste, so it worked out for them.

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>That's Pete Prisco, John Ozer, J P. Shatick is Jaguars

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Happy Hour from the NFL Scouting Combine. You know, a

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of positive reaction about the Jaguars run Pete here

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>in Indianapolis this week, right Lea so trimp Balky on

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the podium on Tuesday and Doug Peterson making the rounds

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, got a quarterback. A lot of

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>things going well, a lot of moves the last week

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>or so to move some money around, and then the

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>news today that they're expected to tag to have an Ingram,

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>so m you know, well, Evan Ingram wasn't going anywhere

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>no matter what they were trying. There's they probably still

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>are trying to get a deal done with him. If

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>they can't get the deal right, if they don't get

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the deal done with him. But if they don't get

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the deal done with him before they even put because

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 1>they haven't officially put the tag on them yet, there's

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do it one way the other. He

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>will be in Jacksonville next year no matter what. But

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>if they get him tagged, um, then maybe what do

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>you do with with You know, Juan Taylor personally, and

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I said that to them. I would not let Juan

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Taylor out the door. He's too valuable. This is an

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>offensive team. You have a franchise quarterback. Make sure the

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>offense is every bit as good as it can be.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>And by keeping Juwan Taylor there, I think, and Evan

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Ingram there, and you add Ridley to the equation. And

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I hear nothing but good things about

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>his ability to work out. He's supposedly flying around in

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>his workouts. Then all of a sudden, your offense is

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>pretty much set. You need a big banger back, but

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>aside from that, you're pretty much set there. Well, they

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>were tenth in the league in offense last year and

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>really spent the first seven or eight games trying to

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>figure out where they were, and then they got you know,

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>so I anticipated what you're talking about then being I

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>think it would be a top three or four offense

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>next year based on that, and I agree, I don't

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>think they want to let Juan Taylor out the door.

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there will be a point, you know, as

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>with any number, that it might get too big for him.

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you can necessarily say we can't about

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 1>the door at any price. And that's a matter of

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>how Drew wants to come in, and if Drew really

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>wants to get into free agency, it's gonna be tough. Yeah,

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.239
<v Speaker 1>it will be tough, and particularly you know, some teams

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>look at it, there's a desperation for offensive lineman, which

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>might drive up this price. I mean, I did the

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>top one hundred ranking of the lineman and I think

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>he was seventh. Amount of the players, I think I

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>am seventh. That's how much I feel about all players. Yeah, okay,

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that's how much I feel about his growth this year.

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was that good. I'd find a way

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to keep them, because if you don't keep them, then

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>what are your options. You're looking for another one, or

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you're moving one of those guys to right tackle Walker

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>little proof he couldn't play right tackle. At least it

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't look like he could. So I think that's a problem.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 1>So keep this offense. This is an offensive team. Don't

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>weaken it. And if you weak, if you go in,

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>let's just say you keep all those guys. Yeah, you

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>got three tackles. Guys go down in this league too,

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>We've seen that before. And if you don't, one of

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>them maybe can play left guard, and you know, probably

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>would be waker. Little would play left Guardaniel of a sudden,

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you have a giant offensive line, big offensive line around

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that quarterback. So that's what I would do. And and

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I think they're smart. They realize what they're gonna do.

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think they'd love to keep them and keep

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>it intact and build it around Trevor Lawrence. But we'll

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>see it's hard to do when you have cap problems. Yeah,

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I think a little would play guard in that scenario.

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, to your thought, I'm of the belief. I

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>think you Jawarys feel this way now too. You don't

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>have two starting tackles anymore, you have three. You have

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>to consider your swing tackle a starter because look at

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the look at last season. If they only have two

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>guys that can play tackle. Last year they don't make

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. The question becomes, is walk a little a

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>better left tackle than Cam Robbins in this They like

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the way you play down the step. That's what I mean.

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>There's some big moments in big games. I mean, is

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>he a better left tackle? And if he is, then

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>can Cam play left guard? Because you know there's always

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that possibility. I just don't think you take offensive line.

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't it be tough to play Cam and left guard?

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>With that? I mean that, yeah, But if you're paying

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 1>him anyways's playing where you're gonna feel the best. You

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>got the five best out there and whatever way they

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.679
<v Speaker 1>align up. That's that's what I would do. And look,

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>one thing I will say, and we all, I'm guilty

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 1>as anybody because you know JP, we lit up Trent Balky,

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest. Yeah we did. And I asked him.

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>He was on with us the other day and I

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>asked him, is any part of you? And I admitted

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I was one of those guys I lit him up.

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Is he vindicated? And he wouldn't go there a little bit?

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>He wouldn't. He didn't, He wouldn't go there. Has is

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>he a little bit vindicated. You're saying, right, somewhere inside

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>he has to feel it. He's not. I can admit

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>when when I he did some really good thing. Now,

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>having said that, the defense still looking good. The defense

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 1>still needs a lot of work, and they spent a

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.199
<v Speaker 1>lot of money on that defense, so it's not all fixed.

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>But the money they spent was what I would think

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 1>of as half to Spain. They had to get better

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>somewhere as well as you could in freecy. It wasn't

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 1>a report card on free agency for this franchise. Is

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've covered the league forever. How many free

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>agent classes have you seen come in? And by the

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>end of the first season there's three of them. You

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to get out the door. You had Christian Kirk,

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Evan Ingram, Zay Jones, Darius Williams arden Key. That's one

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>of the best, most productive free agent classes. I haven't

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>looked at the entire league's history, but there aren't many

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 1>free agent classes in NFL history who have done that.

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>With that level of consistency, It's hard to get productive

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>free agency who fit together. Now, I think Doug gets

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>some credit for that in creating a locker room where

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>aybody could come in. But you're talking about core guys.

0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Christian Kirk is all of a sudden a core guy

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>on this team. Evan feels that way. Brandon sure, if

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.559
<v Speaker 1>we haven't even talked about he was hurt last year,

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>bad but still a big part of what they were.

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>That was a phenomenal free agent class. And if you're

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>going to criticize gms for their mistakes, you have to

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 1>give him credit for that, which is why he deserves,

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, accolades for it. And I even asked him,

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I said the clown emoji, I go, you were well

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>where of it? And he was, he knew all about it.

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was. Look, these guys aren't immune to

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 1>the criticism, and so when they do have success, you're

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>right a little bit, they should, you know, prop up

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>their feathers. And Bragg I would never say it publicly

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>been driving him absolutely, I would hope for his say absolutely,

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>he smiles a little bit. Absolutely. How they fix the defense,

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't think you can fix the defense.

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>So I think, and we've talked about this, go get

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the offense explosive and they did. Did Kansas City fix

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>their defense last year? No, they had a bunch of

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>kids playing and they played okay, and they were okay

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.239
<v Speaker 1>on defense. That's just what they need to be because oay, exactly,

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't need to be great on defense. You need

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>to be just okay. Last year at times they were

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>not just okay. And they still need to rush the

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 1>passer better, I think. And again, this is something I

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>asked Dug about, and I think they're gonna do more

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>of it. They won't commit it to it fully, but

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>this is what they need to play. Trayvon Walker down,

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he could become Eric Armstead from the forty

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>nine ers, the far As Buckner um Klais Campbell. That's

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the kind of ability he has. And I know everybody says, well,

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>they drafted the first overall to become a pass rusher.

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>If he's a really good player getting ten eleven sacks

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>from the inside, is that taint to pick at all? No,

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not. And I don't know if he's ever going

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to be a great pass rusher. And that's the problem.

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Think about that, you have two top ten picks rushing

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the passer and you still weren't good rushing the passer.

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 1>That's a concern. He we talked about it yesterday. I

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>tend to agree with you on Trayvon, and my thought

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>is if you had picked Klais Campbell number one overall,

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 1>and you were sitting here right now, you would look

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>at that as a as a really good pick that year.

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's okay. I want to clarify something that you

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>said because I think it's what you're saying, you can't

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>really fix it. And I agree with you because if

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>what you're looking for is high impact pass rush, I

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know that at twenty four you're gonna find that.

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's really hard to find a free agency and

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that as a team they're in a

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 1>position to go all chips in on a risky free

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>agent pass rusher. So I have a feeling that next year,

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>ten games into the season, fans may be going, well,

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 1>they didn't look at the pass rush last off season.

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>You have to remember what's available to you as a franchise,

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>how you build. That's why I agree with you. Okay, Well,

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you say there may not be the Joey Boasta fix

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.680
<v Speaker 1>at pass rusher, so you go get stronger somewhere else

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and make up for what might not be as strong

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>as you want that. And again, if you keep Juwantel

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and you keep Evan Ingram and you look at the offense,

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>you might draft the back in the fifth round to

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>help the offense. Might get another tight end at some

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>point in the draft, and who knows, maybe there's a

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>tight end in the first round you really like. You

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 1>add him to the mix, and all of a sudden,

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you're really a dynamic offense. But if you don't use

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that first pick on a tight end, then you go

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>into you look at your defense. You gotta have to

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 1>get a corner and you have to get a pass rusher.

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.959
<v Speaker 1>Those are two things you have to get and at

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>some point in this draft or some point in free agency,

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.959
<v Speaker 1>because they don't have the corners. Look, Herndon's a nice

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>little play plays hard everything. But when you see him

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>as the nickel corner, he gets exposed. He runs across

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the field. He can't run with guys. That's a problem.

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Darius Williams, we talked about it all year. Move him outside.

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>He moved outside. He was better. But is he an

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 1>elite corner. No. Tyson Campbell's a good player, and they

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 1>need somebody else. They need a and this is a

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>by the way, this is a great corner draft. There's

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a guy. Yeah, you could probably get two and two

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 1>guys that can come in and compete. So I don't

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>think it's entirely fixable on defense, but it can get better.

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's all if you have the offense that I

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna have, that's all it needs to do

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>is get better. Particularly, let's not forget guys. They play

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>six games against the South, which is not a good division.

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>They played four more against the NFC South. We look

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>at it already. He's locking. I haven't yet, but Selly

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>locked it until the last show. Did we both locked

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a division? Next? God? Oh yeah, But of course he's

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 1>at least you know, yeah he wins. That could be

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that should be nine right there. Yeah, when lose one

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 1>of them, because you're guaranteeing nine to win against those teams.

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Those teams are those teams in the South are ter.

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Look at the quarterbacks you're gonna be playing. Look at

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>all the seven teams and all they are toughing in

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>all seven teams. Right now, who are the quarterbacks you're playing?

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Tanny Hill? Maybe yeah, yeah, there's three young rookie quarterback

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>And then you don't know what's going on. Colts will

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>probably have a rookie quarterback too, And then in the

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in the NFC South, you have no I think he's

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>coming back, Trash Trask or whoever they go gat. Carolina

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>has no idea that might bring Darnold back. Atlanta has Ritter,

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>who's in this second year, barely played last year. And

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>then so it's a great schedule next year. And plus

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to say that just to say it's

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a one year one. This team is here for the

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>next decade because of that quarterback period. End of story.

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Anything else you do is all about him. It's just

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>like the Chiefs. They let Tyreek hil go, They use

0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 1>the draft picks, they supplement the defense, they bring in

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>some one year hits on the quarterback got him there

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>again and he wanted again. That's what Trevor Lawrence does

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>for this team. He has to be. Yes, you have

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 1>to never win. It's what they have to eventually be. Pete,

<v Speaker 1>now joining us. It's the Jaguars head team position doctor

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Kaplan from Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute and Camp. Here we

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:20.919
<v Speaker 1>are at the combine again. Good to see you and

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>thanks for the time. Many glad I got chance a moment.

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>What number combined? Is this for you? This is fourteen

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 1>assistant for four years and I've been the head guy

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>for ten years. Really like thirty years old, young guy, Sorry,

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you're sixteen. It's amazing, all right, So everybody says that, Yeah,

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.880
<v Speaker 1>ask almost everybody. The most important part of the combine

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 1>experience for these players is the medical evaluation, and certainly

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 1>for the teams that want to get exposed to these

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 1>players and see what's really going on. That's where you

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and your staff come in. So take us through the process.

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Is there a room? Are there multiple rooms? Do the

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 1>players rules? Rude? Do you get to just cherry pick guys?

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how does that work for the physician? Yeah?

0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm sure you know this. The way this

0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>whole NFL Combine really started was medical, right, doctors are saying, hey,

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>we're bringing guys in. We don't know anything about them,

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, and so can you tell us what their

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 1>medical risk is? And that's how this whole thing started,

0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and then the running, the jumping, all that kind of

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>followed suit. So the way it works is there are

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.360
<v Speaker 1>rooms of physicians. It's our room has been the same

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 1>at least ever since I've been around. It's the same

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>group of guys. So it's us, the Titans, the Jets,

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers, and the Bengals. So you're very familiar with

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the guys that are in your room. And every single

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 1>player that's here, you know, the combine comes to that room,

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and so they'll bring them in one by one. There's

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a kind of a pre combined screen where they talk

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.359
<v Speaker 1>to the players, getting an idea of their medical history,

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and so they gather information from the time they were

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>in high school playing football through I mean even before that.

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Guys have had injuries when they were five and six

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 1>years old that are on their injury at every piece

0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of information you can gather is there. So a lot

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>of scans, X rays and i CT scans are done

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 1>before you can get here. So they bring a player

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.160
<v Speaker 1>in one by one, they'll be a presentation. The player

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.399
<v Speaker 1>will be there on the exam table and they'll present

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.439
<v Speaker 1>the player to us and say, this is what you know,

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 1>who the player is, these are the injuries he's had.

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 1>And then they'll go through the examination and say, you

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 1>know that in his shoulders stable, his knees got a

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>little swelling to it, his incisions are healed, et cetera,

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, and then we're free to get up and

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 1>feel and get a you know, look, there's certain guys

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>that we're looking at specifically, but you want to have

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 1>an overall look because you know how it is through

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the year, they're always working the back into that roster.

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>So they may not the Jaguars may not be interested

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in a player today, but that guy may come to

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you as a free agent, you know, three months from now.

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 1>So you get a good idea of that player. So

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you take notes on everybody, or at least I do,

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, when it comes time to grading

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the player, have a grading scale because I want to

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.399
<v Speaker 1>be able to easily relay the information to Trent and

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to Dug and to Firg and say this guy is

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>this level of risk, you know, and there's it's a

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Every team has a different scale. Vers there's one to five,

0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, the ones where the healthiest guys typically are

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the punters and kickers that come in. It's just the

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 1>way it works, and fives is a fail and it's

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 1>very rare to fail someone orthopedically. Those are typically the medical,

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.679
<v Speaker 1>the heart stuff. So then I go back home, make

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 1>sure I've reviewed all the MRIs, and then we have

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 1>a medical meeting where we go through every guy that

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 1>they're interested on their board as is there a medical

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 1>risk there? What is the medical risk if you It's

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe tricky to answer, so I try to phrase it

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the right way. If you didn't have the combine and

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you were just kind of going off of the records

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that you see, if your comfort level is at ten

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>with this process, where would it be without this? I

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>would be almost zero? Okay, I got you. So you

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>have to get your hand on guys, and I guessed

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 1>as a follow up to that, can you imagine it

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.440
<v Speaker 1>without a combine if you were trying to get guy?

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>It's impossible, right, It's essential for this reason you have to,

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:58.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean it, otherwise you're going on just assuming what

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 1>the risk is. There's so many things you pick up

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 1>on MRIs, whether it's pieces of cartilage missing or little

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.680
<v Speaker 1>meniscus terrors, or we even pick up guys every year.

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we have them this year, but they don't

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:10.439
<v Speaker 1>have acls. You know, they didn't know they didn't have

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 1>an ACL. That's a you know, some people cope with that,

0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:15.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, their knees loose, and they may cope with it,

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:17.360
<v Speaker 1>but then they need an a CL obviously to play

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the game. So you know, without this, we wouldn't have

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:21.879
<v Speaker 1>any that information. Yeah, where they've never had them, or

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 1>it's been torns in time and they didn't note that.

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 1>The guys in the past had an injury and maybe

0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 1>they wore a brace or strapped it up or you know,

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 1>but tape on it or you know, taped it and

0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.120
<v Speaker 1>gave themself some sort of stability, you know, but there

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>are subset of people that can cope without an ACL,

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>but you don't wonder how they kind of got by

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 1>doing that. Maybe that's why it wasn't very good at bat.

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I didn't have al al, maybe I was missing something.

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.200
<v Speaker 1>That's what it does. Doctor Kevin Kaplan with us from

0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute here at the NFL Scouting Combine. So

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:54.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, so the time frame of this all happening

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.119
<v Speaker 1>is it over multiple days? How many days do you

0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>have left? Today is Thursday, So what's the rest of

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.400
<v Speaker 1>your schedule? So it's four days or Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>And they break it up. You know, we did the

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.560
<v Speaker 1>defensive linemen, linebackers first day. Today we did special teams

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and the defensive backs. So we still got the quarterbacks.

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.679
<v Speaker 1>We have the wide receivers, running backs. So they try

0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to break it up for us over for a day.

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Say it's a lot of guys coming through, and we're

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 1>talking with three hundred plus guys coming through. You know,

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>most guys get at least one or two MRIs or

0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.200
<v Speaker 1>X rays, and so you're just I mean, next week,

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be in the mornings. That's all I'm gonna

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>be doing is looking at these MRIs and finishing up

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the evaluations. So I'm ready for the draft. Have you ever?

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's got to break your heart fail guys

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:34.439
<v Speaker 1>when you do that. I mean it can you know?

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Or or when you see a guy with an injury,

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 1>where you thinking, hey, guys, probably gonna be shortly I mean,

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 1>I guess emotionally, as a doctor, you got to do

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 1>your job, but your heart has to go out to

0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 1>somebody who who you just know physically is gonna have

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.359
<v Speaker 1>trouble holding up. Yeah, And the guys that come in

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and do the presentations that they do a good job

0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 1>of getting us the information. But I always look at

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the player when when someone's getting a report like his

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.639
<v Speaker 1>knee is severely arthritic and it's bone on bone, You know,

0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:03.159
<v Speaker 1>does that player really know what that means because he

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, does he know does he or his agent know,

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, what that what that does to him? So yeah,

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean these are because this is their dreams, their

0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 1>refer you know, to get into the NFL. But most

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>of all you're doing is present in facts. You're not

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 1>passing opinion. But it's still tough. Correct absolutely, And then

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a level of risk. Right there may be a

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>guy that has a bad knee or an arthritic knee

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and he's a good player and someone's gonna take take

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:25.239
<v Speaker 1>him as on a chance you know that he may

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 1>make it. Will you make it through that first contract

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to the second contract? You know, the Jaguars this past

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 1>year use the fewest amount of players in the NFL

0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 1>sixty one players touched the field. That was the fewest

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in the regular season. So I mean credit to you

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and your staff, Jeff Ferguson, the VP of Player Health

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and Performance, the athletic training staff underneath him, collective effort, yes,

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>to work on the Jaguars roster, but also the Jaguars

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>players for having to do some things on their own

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 1>as well. It's a it's a full team effort, not

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>just the staff involved. That's a big piece of it.

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>But the players have to buy into that as well.

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean it starts with them. They're taking care of

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>their bodies. They know what they need to do. And

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>these guys, this team is you know, you guys know,

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 1>they're just different. They want to be there, they want

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to get better. And then you have Jeff, you have

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Ferd that's just does a great job and making sure

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the players are taking care of and are treated appropriately.

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 1>What you know, injuries are going to happen, right and

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 1>not every injury is is going to be cut and dry.

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 1>There's a there's a kind of a gray zone. Can

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 1>you play with this and what can we do to

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:25.880
<v Speaker 1>get you as good as possible without putting you at risk.

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And then there's a coach, right and the coach has

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to do a great job and making sure that throughout

0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the season you're not practicing like you were in July,

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>come December and January and hopefully you know farther. And

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I think Doug is very Maybe it's because he was

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a player and he knows the grind. He really took

0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:44.119
<v Speaker 1>care of the players and that makes our job easier

0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 1>because they're not coming in with their you know, no

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 1>legs and tired and cramping, and cramping leads to injury,

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.360
<v Speaker 1>and so you're you hit the nail on the head.

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a group effort in terms of keeping

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>guys healthy on the field. Emphasize that last part for me,

0:24:57.760 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>if you will, because I've heard from a lot of

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>people over the years. Certain coaches will run their guys

0:25:02.960 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and as much as they want to be a players coach,

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they just are going to run their guys out there.

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 1>But the importance of the head coach understanding that these

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>guys have to be rested at the proper times. I've

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:19.199
<v Speaker 1>heard from different medical people over the years that that

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:21.439
<v Speaker 1>can be everything to keep in a team healthy. I

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's the most important pact. But because the problem

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 1>is is you know, as me as a physician or

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:28.159
<v Speaker 1>as athletic trainers, and we have a job and we're

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.360
<v Speaker 1>not there to say, coach this way or run this

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>a certain way. So part of that I think the

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 1>coach has to know and understand, and I think Doug

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>just gets you know, he really does. And that's it's

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 1>It's makes our lives a lot easier, you know, hydrating

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and eating right. But if you go into a game

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:46.399
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday and then you run so hard, and you know,

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 1>come Monday and Wednesday and Thursday, then you're going to

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:50.639
<v Speaker 1>the next week and it's just a cumulative wear on

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the body. And that's a seasons A full grind, certainly

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 1>is it's well a full grind really eleven months of

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the year in the NFL. It kind of continues now.

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Players are all off, they'll be back the offseason programs

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 1>right around the corner, and we're here at the Combine,

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:06.840

<v Speaker 1>Kirk is great to see you, man, what's up? I'm

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 1>doing great man, grab to join you guys. What a

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 1>great week this has been so far and now to

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 1>finally getting the guys out there competing on the field.

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 1>This is honestly what we came here for, right, Yeah,

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean well it's actually two different events at pis, right,

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the coaches and gms early in the week, correct, and

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 1>then you know, if you're the Jaguars, at least covering

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars picking twenty fourth. I mean yeah, it's hard

0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to kind of pinpoint some things in that stadium. Yeah,

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>you're right, You're right, JP. It's it's a lot because

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>everyone kind of gets the state of the Union address

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 1>for each franchise, you know, general manager, head coach. They

0:27:57.440 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 1>come out and talk and you're sort of recapping last

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:05.120
<v Speaker 1>season because now we have time for everyone to trying

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 1>to evaluate what happened and now what do we need

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>to look forward to, And everybody says, hey, well, this

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 1>is what you guys need to improve on. You guys

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>got to go get a receiver, you gotta go get

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a running back, a linebacker, defensive vent and so it's

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:21.160
<v Speaker 1>always fun to come to INDE and get the sort

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of the state of the union of where the team

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:25.520
<v Speaker 1>is at. They won't tell you who they're going to pick,

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>but obviously how do you feel about certain players? On

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 1>your roster as we also get ready to hit free agency. Yeah,

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>there's a little bit too obviously that it's the first

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 1>time most media has talked to most of these guys

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 1>since they've been in the bunker and really looked back

0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 1>on what they really did. You know, they look at

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>tape week to week, but they started to do a

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>deep dive with what they need and then they come out,

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Kirk and they tell you nothing. Yeah. I mean the

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>stories I write from here are always yeah, there's a

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:57.719
<v Speaker 1>pretty good lead, and then they'll say, yeah, we need

0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to get better at X. But then they really never

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>go into very much. But you don't expect that story

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Dog and Pony Show. If he will, Kirk not.

0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Every player he's been with the Jaguars in the last

0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:10.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty years has great memories. But I know your two

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 1>thousand and ten seasons he spent with him. Tell me

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>just the best memory you have in that season. Because

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 1>there was an underrated season. I think a lot of

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>fans have forgotten how good that team was or almost was.

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 1>That team was the best team that I've actually played

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>on the National Football League. I played eight years in

0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the league, and that twenty ten team was was one.

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I still have lifelong friendships for playing one year in Jacksonville,

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and I was so upset. I wanted to play a lot,

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot longer because not only did I even being

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 1>able to embrace the Jacksonville community, the people, the fan base.

0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 1>It was so fun. And David Garrard was an exceptional quarterback.

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 1>He played outstanding that year. Uh, Josh Scobee sco Scobie Bryant,

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, because he was just automatic that year. Yeah,

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I think he kicks Homedy in a row. He was outstanding.

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 1>But Maurice Jones drew a guy who you know, we

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 1>grew up in the same area in northern California. Yeah, kid, Yeah,

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:07.360
<v Speaker 1>And so to be able to be on a team

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>with him, and to think that Marcedes Lewis in the

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>career that he had a career still playing, He had

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a career year, you know, a career year Pro Bowl

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 1>year for him in twenty ten. And the coaches, obviously

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Jack del Rio, but you see some of the other

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 1>coaches and what they've been able to do that were

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 1>on that staff. Corey Unland has been an outstanding coach.

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 1>You look at some of the offensive mine, Todd Monkin

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 1>who was now the offensive coordinator in Baltimore, and he

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:37.440
<v Speaker 1>was the receiver's coacher, and so you had all of

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 1>these I mean, head coach of Michigan State, right was

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Del Tucker. That was our decourt. So I had all

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of these offensive minds and people who are around us,

0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm saying, wow, this is unbelievable. But it was

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:54.320
<v Speaker 1>such a good season. I wish we could have finished

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 1>it off. We went eight and eight. We had an

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 1>opportunity but still paid Manning was paid Manning, and we

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>had a game that allowed us, if we beat you know,

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the Indianapolis Colts in a week I believe it was

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:09.640
<v Speaker 1>thirteen at the time, we win the division. And we

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:12.960
<v Speaker 1>lose that matchup, and we didn't finish the job down

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the stretch and so we lost. But man, you mentioned

0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 1>it one of the great seasons that I know I've

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to play in my career. And two

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of the most unreal memories that year job that was

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the Scobie year, the fifty eight yard against Andy, and

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 1>it was the Hail Mary so Mary during years yeah

0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 1>against the Texans David Gerrard to Mike Thomas to hell Mary.

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Um just unbelievable memory. And I remember also too, I

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 1>had one memory was that, you know, I was traded

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>from the Oakland Raiders at the time, and then you know,

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 1>we were down I think at halftime couple scores, and

0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:47.840
<v Speaker 1>we come back in the second half and David Garrard

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 1>throws a deep bomb and I believe it was Hagen

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>or so whoever it was, catches it and we went

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 1>on to route the Raiders in a game that was

0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:58.480
<v Speaker 1>so close, but it was so fun. Kirk Morrison with

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a serious XMFL radio Channel eighty eight. They've got a

0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>big set here at the Indiana Convention Center, all right,

0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So the Jaguars organization the last five years, let's just

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 1>start there. You can go back a little further than that.

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>There's been a lot of ups and downs. Right Division

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 1>title in twenty seventeen. Doug Brone's a head coach. Blake

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Bortles is a quarterback at all time defense in Jacksonville

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that it disintegrates starting in twenty eighteen. It hits rock

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 1>bottom with the Urban Meyer regime and everything that happened there.

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 1>It's quickly starting to ramp back up, obviously with Peterson

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and Lawrence and the free agent editions last year. It's

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of common ways, but this one feels a little

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 1>more sustainable, doesn't it. Yeah, sustainable. I mean the errodefinitely

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>is pointing up and I think what happens what happened

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty two was a year ahead. I think

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:49.240
<v Speaker 1>this football team is a year ahead and where they

0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>expected it to be. This was a football team at

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 1>one point, I believe was it one in six right

0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty six, right after the game in London and you're like, okay,

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 1>you scratch your head a little bit and say, oh,

0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 1>same old Jaguars. And then something clicked, and I think

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>it was because the belief that Doug Peterson has brought.

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I think there was from people who I've talked to

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>also within the organization that Trevor Lawrence something happened, Like

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:18.040
<v Speaker 1>they like he took over this football team and said, look,

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be on me how we finish and

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:25.640
<v Speaker 1>how we have a successful season. And everybody bought in.

0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:28.640
<v Speaker 1>The talent has always been here, but it was putting

0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:33.120
<v Speaker 1>everything together and also having that belief, Like having that

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 1>belief is how you win games against the Dallas Cowboys

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 1>like the Jaguars this year having belief in games down

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the stretch that hey, we are a good football team

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and we can do the things that we expect to.

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 1>We can be down twenty seven points in a wild

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>card game and find a way to come back. That's

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 1>what I saw from this football team this year. But

0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:55.479
<v Speaker 1>it really started with the quarterback. Everything that you mentioned

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 1>just about the last five years, I think it changes

0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:01.960
<v Speaker 1>because you have the guy who you believe in and

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the guy pulling you know, that's taking the snaps from center,

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 1>and Trevor Lawrence. He's been outstanding this year and you

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.920
<v Speaker 1>just think that how he brings the most gets the

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 1>best out of everybody on this round. He got the

0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:17.520
<v Speaker 1>best out of Evan Ingram, right, Christian Kirk. People questioned

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:20.719
<v Speaker 1>the offseason acquisition in terms of the money that will

0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>spent on Christian Kirk, but you talk about production, he

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.759
<v Speaker 1>gave your production. And then the offensive line too, right,

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 1>think about that just how they came along this season.

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 1>So to me, this is a team that's a year

0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 1>ahead and they can only imagine what they will do

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 1>this offseason to create more competition in some safe because

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully it's not a long winning answer, but it's

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 1>it's fun to look at them now because they don't

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>go into an off season of need. You're like were

0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:51.760
<v Speaker 1>last year, Like it's like, Okay, they need a receiver,

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:54.399
<v Speaker 1>they need a playmaking tight end, they need a couple

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 1>of linebackers to come in and tackle, they need keep going.

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.800
<v Speaker 1>There's a long list of need and you got a

0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of those needs answered. You went out and grab

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 1>some corners. You got Foyer, and you know the linebackers

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 1>who came and played. You got some guys off the

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 1>edge that are now creating a little bit of havoc.

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 1>You already had Josh, but now you got some people

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:15.720
<v Speaker 1>around him to help him out. You got an offensive

0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:18.760
<v Speaker 1>line that play outstanding. And oh, by the way, whoever

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you put in the backfield didn't matter if you got

0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a guy off the streets who just got released or

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 1>you got a guy in a trade. Everybody knew their

0:35:25.320 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 1>role and they played their role. And that's why I

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 1>think that the team now was more about adding the

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 1>depth rather than adding a need. You follow the league

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 1>from a broader perspective way to so. Doug Peterson talked

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot this year about not only the difference that

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>he expect to see in Trevor in the second year

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of his scheme. Yes, but in that entire team, you

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:48.359
<v Speaker 1>think about so many new guys last year kerk Ingram

0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:51.319
<v Speaker 1>on defense Luke, I mean, I would say the entire

0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 1>team was new, but the cores very much came together

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 1>last year and your experience as a player and then

0:35:56.680 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 1>following it, how much better does a team usually get

0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:02.920
<v Speaker 1>in that second year and everything because they'll be in

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:05.839
<v Speaker 1>their second year the defensive scheme, offensive scheme, and these

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:08.520
<v Speaker 1>core players playing in it. It strikes me that that's

0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:12.400
<v Speaker 1>where the jomp comes from. I've always compared it to

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that freshman year of high school where you get to

0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.600
<v Speaker 1>school and you're looking around your wide eyed. You can't

0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 1>find your locker, I don't know where I'm gonna sit

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:25.280
<v Speaker 1>at for lunch. Ye, I'm trying to find the classes everything.

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 1>And then after that freshman year, you get till the

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:31.040
<v Speaker 1>sophomore year, and then you're now you're an upper classman

0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know what's expected of you. You know where

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 1>my locker is, I know where I like to eat lunch,

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and I know everything about the school because I've been

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:40.680
<v Speaker 1>around it. It's the same thing in the National Football

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:43.200
<v Speaker 1>League that freshman year is one of those years John,

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.759
<v Speaker 1>in which you're like that rookie year. It's every or

0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:49.879
<v Speaker 1>that first year together. It's learning, it's understanding what's the expectation.

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:53.120
<v Speaker 1>It was difficult for me in my career, very difficult

0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:56.239
<v Speaker 1>because I played for six head coaches in eight years.

0:36:56.239 --> 0:37:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Six wow. So every year for me, the plosophy or

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:03.399
<v Speaker 1>the culture had to change, and you're learning, Hey, what's

0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the new expectation of a new head coach. So when

0:37:07.040 --> 0:37:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you have the same head coach for multiple years, and

0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:13.439
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have that happen honestly until my last part

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.920
<v Speaker 1>of my career when I got to Buffalo. But I

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:19.440
<v Speaker 1>knew what the expectation was. I knew that what the

0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:22.839
<v Speaker 1>coach wanted for me, The team knew what the coach wanted,

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and there was no surprises. You knew how practice was

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be ran, you knew where, how the extra

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>time that you can put in to be a better player,

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 1>all of that. And so now when Trevor Lawrence comes

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 1>to the line of scrimmage, he's got the built in

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:38.600
<v Speaker 1>audibles that he maybe didn't have in year one, or

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:41.680
<v Speaker 1>on defense, you have the audibles and the things that

0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a great play call from coach, but you know what

0:37:44.680 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 1>not none of let's check it. Let's check to a

0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>different coverage that gets us in a better situation to

0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:51.239
<v Speaker 1>get us to the next down. That's what year two

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:55.440
<v Speaker 1>in the system, not just offensively but also defensively helps

0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you out. Now with this Jaguar's team, Kirk Morrison with

0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:01.480
<v Speaker 1>a serious XM and Fell Radio final thought with you

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 1>here and thanks again for the time. You know the Bills,

0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs. Yes, Jaguars are kind of in that mix obviously.

0:38:09.680 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's a bunch of teams now in the

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:16.960
<v Speaker 1>AFC that have top tier quarterbacks, They've got pass rushers.

0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is as competitive as I can remember

0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the conference being since I've been in. This will be

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:26.520
<v Speaker 1>season twelve. I'm sure there have been other competitive times.

0:38:26.560 --> 0:38:29.880
<v Speaker 1>There's other great quarterbacks, but compared to what the NFC

0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:32.239
<v Speaker 1>has to offer right now, right, AFC is tough. But

0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the Jags are right there in the mix. Obviously, they

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:37.760
<v Speaker 1>went toe to toe with the Chiefs in the divisional round.

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 1>They got a taste of it, right. So every year

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:44.880
<v Speaker 1>we always thought the cliche, you win your division, you

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:47.359
<v Speaker 1>get to the playoffs. Well, the Jaguars did that last

0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:50.240
<v Speaker 1>year they won their division, but they got a chance

0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to see the next step that needs to be taken

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:56.880
<v Speaker 1>out to be a true contender in the AFC. They

0:38:56.920 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 1>got a chance to go to Kansas City and to

0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 1>be all honor. They played a hell of a football game.

0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:04.319
<v Speaker 1>There was moments where they could have actually changed the

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:07.160
<v Speaker 1>tide of that game, and we wouldn't don't. I wouldn't

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:08.960
<v Speaker 1>have been a surprise I had they won because they

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:12.600
<v Speaker 1>had that mindset of where underdogs all that. They won't

0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:15.239
<v Speaker 1>be underdogs anymore. I think because of the way they

0:39:15.280 --> 0:39:17.560
<v Speaker 1>played this year, they're gonna be a much different team

0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:20.920
<v Speaker 1>that people will be looked at. But in two years

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:24.239
<v Speaker 1>of Trevor Lawrence, he is the best quarterback in the

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:27.760
<v Speaker 1>AFC South right now. Right now, he starts at the top.

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:32.480
<v Speaker 1>This division seems to be the Jaguars Division by quarterback already.

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 1>He is that when you put the matchup of against

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:38.319
<v Speaker 1>the Texans or the Colts or the Titans right now,

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 1>he's the best quarterback. That's the box that you already have.

0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:45.160
<v Speaker 1>So if you have that piece for you already, that's

0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:48.000
<v Speaker 1>what makes you excited about getting back to the tournament

0:39:48.040 --> 0:39:51.000
<v Speaker 1>next year. And then you know what's expected because you

0:39:51.040 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>mentioned those other quarterbacks, those other teams that have been

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.000
<v Speaker 1>in that contention for the last three or four years.

0:39:56.040 --> 0:39:58.239
<v Speaker 1>But the only thing is what the NFL presents is

0:39:58.280 --> 0:40:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that one of those teams have to f all because

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.960
<v Speaker 1>there's always a team on the rise. Cincinnati has been

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 1>that team the last couple of years that had kind

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 1>of rolls and they've dropped Buffalo, who's been there the

0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:11.240
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years. It's it's been a fun, fun

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:14.319
<v Speaker 1>couple of the last four or five years, this new

0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 1>era of quarterbacks. Right, you mentioned Tom Brady leaving out

0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:20.879
<v Speaker 1>of the league and all of a sudden, this influx

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:24.279
<v Speaker 1>of youth of good quarterbacks. I mean, I just was

0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:28.160
<v Speaker 1>watching the looking at the AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks, right,

0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I was in Vegas to uh, you know, doing some

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:33.480
<v Speaker 1>interviews down there in the Pro Bowl and talk to

0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Lawrence and to see and Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen, right,

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, justin Herbert and think about how

0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 1>far too has been pushed down, right, Yeah, I think

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:48.120
<v Speaker 1>this is this is the same conference that has Russell Wilson,

0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>and yet he's not even in the top ten in

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the in the conference, but Russell Wilson's not even the

0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 1>top ten I think in quarterbacks in the conference. That's

0:40:57.040 --> 0:40:59.120
<v Speaker 1>how good it is. But I think that's where the

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars have put themselves in a position because of the

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 1>added pieces and weapons for their quarterback. Kirk, great stuff,

0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Thanks again for the time. Glad to see you're doing well,

<v Speaker 1>on this Thursday afternoon. Glad you're long with us. Busy

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:16.840
<v Speaker 1>show today Pete Prisco with US doctor Kevin Kaplin joining

0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 1>us earlier. Kirk Morrison from Sirius XIM. Good to hear

0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 1>from Kirk, former Jaguar for one season at least twenty ten.

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 1>You made the point a pretty good season until it

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:29.279
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the best season. They had some good moments here,

0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:31.719
<v Speaker 1>but good to see him doing well and doing big

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:35.960
<v Speaker 1>things on sirius XM ESPN College football as well. He's

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:37.919
<v Speaker 1>all over the place. Yeah, and he was by far

0:42:38.000 --> 0:42:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the tallest of our three guest today. Kirk more easy,

0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:48.399
<v Speaker 1>It's easily. Yes. Yeah. I missed covering Kirk by a year.

0:42:48.880 --> 0:42:51.279
<v Speaker 1>And I actually I was still in indian twenty ten

0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:55.120
<v Speaker 1>when he was had his loan Jaguars season and I

0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 1>was doing some work for multiple publications the time. Actually

0:42:59.040 --> 0:43:01.800
<v Speaker 1>spoke to him on the phone that you're about the

0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars season, and the story at mid season was what

0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a surprising, unbelievable successful season and had they closed that

0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:13.439
<v Speaker 1>season out by beating the Colts up in Indianapolis, which

0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:15.680
<v Speaker 1>they had a chance to do. It would be remembered

0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:18.600
<v Speaker 1>up there with some of the fondest seasons because of

0:43:18.640 --> 0:43:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that Scobie game, the fifty nine yard field goal. People

0:43:21.239 --> 0:43:25.120
<v Speaker 1>remember the Hail Mary game. They went over to Dallas

0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and blew them out one week I think so, I

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:30.880
<v Speaker 1>mean there were some It's like so many teams. Teams

0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:33.879
<v Speaker 1>have seasons that are sort of forgotten a little bit,

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:36.799
<v Speaker 1>and I think that twenty ten season, not having covered it,

0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:39.600
<v Speaker 1>but having talked to people about it, it's one of

0:43:39.600 --> 0:43:42.320
<v Speaker 1>those seasons that some people remember fondly, and it was

0:43:42.320 --> 0:43:44.239
<v Speaker 1>good to talk to Kirk about that. All right, let's

0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:47.160
<v Speaker 1>rehash some of the I guess news of the day

0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.000
<v Speaker 1>reports today that the Jags are expected to use the

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:53.719
<v Speaker 1>franchise tag on Evan Ingram. That would be just over

0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:56.880
<v Speaker 1>eleven million dollars, and as you mentioned and we mentioned

0:43:56.880 --> 0:43:59.680
<v Speaker 1>with Pete, I mean, it feels like that's always kind

0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:02.319
<v Speaker 1>of bit then the picture, if needed, that might just

0:44:02.360 --> 0:44:04.759
<v Speaker 1>buy them a little more time to get a long

0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:07.120
<v Speaker 1>term deal done. I think July fifteenth would be the

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:09.480
<v Speaker 1>deadline if they were to tag him. They haven't officially

0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:12.080
<v Speaker 1>tagged him yet they were expected to according to reports.

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:16.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll see, but this just feels like just extending it

0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:18.960
<v Speaker 1>out in time to make a deal for Evan Ingram,

0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:22.320
<v Speaker 1>as Trent Bulky said, they want him. Evan Ingram centered

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:24.360
<v Speaker 1>on interviews in the last couple of weeks he wants

0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:26.719
<v Speaker 1>to be here. He wouldn't mind the franchise tag, he

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:28.880
<v Speaker 1>said that himself and one of those just because he

0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:31.879
<v Speaker 1>would see it as an extension to make a long

0:44:32.000 --> 0:44:34.760
<v Speaker 1>term deal. So this one feels like it's just elementary.

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:36.880
<v Speaker 1>It's going to happen. Yeah, if there's been a theme

0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:39.399
<v Speaker 1>of the all seasons so far, We've talked about it,

0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:42.040
<v Speaker 1>even some of the guests for the Jaguars has been

0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, outside of the Roy Robertson Harrison extension, everything

0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 1>feels more clerical, if you will. And when I say clerical,

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean the restructurings. They're moving money around the cap,

0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:00.479
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't really affect what the players are making

0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't affect the team. It's keeping it together.

0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:10.320
<v Speaker 1>So it hasn't been a very newsworthy offseason yet, unless

0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:14.319
<v Speaker 1>you like following accounting in the NFL. So and I'm

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:17.040
<v Speaker 1>not saying as a negative because that's what they wanted.

0:45:17.080 --> 0:45:19.280
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to keep their guys, they wanted to clear books.

0:45:20.520 --> 0:45:24.239
<v Speaker 1>So I think Evan Ingram very much fits into that.

0:45:24.800 --> 0:45:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Everybody you talk to from Evan after the season, when

0:45:27.880 --> 0:45:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Trent Balky talked about it at a couple of ponies,

0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:32.919
<v Speaker 1>and people you talked to on the side, there's never

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:34.640
<v Speaker 1>been much of a doubt that one way or the

0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:37.360
<v Speaker 1>other they were going to keep Evan Ingram. The doubt

0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:39.960
<v Speaker 1>has been more over Juwan Taylor out of those two.

0:45:40.239 --> 0:45:45.320
<v Speaker 1>And I believe based on just feel from talking to Trent,

0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:48.160
<v Speaker 1>that at some point they'll get a long term deal

0:45:48.200 --> 0:45:50.239
<v Speaker 1>done with Evan Ingram, because, as I've written many times,

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:52.919
<v Speaker 1>and you read it too often for your sake, when

0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:55.520
<v Speaker 1>sides want to get something done in this league, and

0:45:55.560 --> 0:45:59.040
<v Speaker 1>when both sides genuinely want something to happen, it usually

0:45:59.080 --> 0:46:01.880
<v Speaker 1>gets done. And talking to Evan's it certainly feels like

0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:05.040
<v Speaker 1>he wants to be here long term. It would behoove

0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 1>him to be here long term and the franchise. My

0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:12.399
<v Speaker 1>guess is once the Jaguars maybe move le further down

0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:14.239
<v Speaker 1>the road and figure out exactly what the rest of

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:16.879
<v Speaker 1>the cap looks like, then maybe they come back and say, okay,

0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:19.400
<v Speaker 1>we gotta figure it out. Now we can we know

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:21.799
<v Speaker 1>exactly where Evan will fit time to get it done.

0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's not that, Maybe it's just a matter of okay,

0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:27.319
<v Speaker 1>now we can agree on that number. Maybe the John

0:46:27.360 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Taylor has something to do with that. Who knows, But

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:35.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you get the sense with a franchise tag. I've

0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 1>covered guys A four who've been on the tag, and

0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:42.600
<v Speaker 1>even if they don't say it, there's a little feeling

0:46:43.920 --> 0:46:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't like this. I don't think you'll have any

0:46:47.040 --> 0:46:50.719
<v Speaker 1>sort of residual effect from Evan being on the franchise tag.

0:46:50.760 --> 0:46:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll just be more logistics. At some point

0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll get worked out and if it doesn't, you know,

0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:57.480
<v Speaker 1>eleven million dollars. I think could be happy with that.

0:46:57.600 --> 0:47:00.480
<v Speaker 1>It's about what he made last year, and it won't.

0:47:00.920 --> 0:47:03.000
<v Speaker 1>It won't go into another season with him, I wouldn't

0:47:03.040 --> 0:47:04.719
<v Speaker 1>think so. I think at some point he'll be a

0:47:04.719 --> 0:47:08.840
<v Speaker 1>long term guy. Here. The availabilities from Trent Fawkey and

0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Doug Peterson from Tuesday available now on Jaguars dot Com.

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's rewind to those a little bit here, John, you

0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:17.600
<v Speaker 1>can check them all out. Of course, there plenty of

0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:20.160
<v Speaker 1>interviews throughout the week with other guests out here in

0:47:20.239 --> 0:47:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Radio Row. Top standouts from each Bulky and Peterson in

0:47:25.520 --> 0:47:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a rewind of Tuesday, Probably the biggest thing with Doug

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that struck me was his you know. It was the

0:47:31.360 --> 0:47:33.839
<v Speaker 1>first thing he said on the podium, and Doug I

0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:36.840
<v Speaker 1>think thinks about his messaging at times when he speaks,

0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:38.439
<v Speaker 1>because he knows he's said in a tone for the team.

0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:42.960
<v Speaker 1>He was very much I want this team to feel

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and understand the pressure of having to go out there

0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:48.719
<v Speaker 1>and perform week to week. I think he knows there's

0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:50.759
<v Speaker 1>going to be higher expectations on a team that won

0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the AFC South. I don't think he has a problem

0:47:53.200 --> 0:47:57.520
<v Speaker 1>with that. He was very upfront, you know. He didn't say, Hey,

0:47:57.520 --> 0:47:59.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna own the you know, he didn't say anything

0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the bastic, but he certainly made clear that the understands

0:48:03.680 --> 0:48:06.560
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be expectations and he doesn't mind that. And

0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the way he phrased it kind of goes

0:48:08.600 --> 0:48:12.239
<v Speaker 1>back to I'm you know, in the first year under him,

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it took the team until the second half

0:48:15.120 --> 0:48:18.880
<v Speaker 1>of the season to understand what it took to prepare

0:48:18.960 --> 0:48:22.040
<v Speaker 1>each week and to be ready and to go win games.

0:48:23.239 --> 0:48:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a natural learning curve. I think it

0:48:25.480 --> 0:48:28.000
<v Speaker 1>bothered him in October because they weren't winning games, but

0:48:28.040 --> 0:48:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I think once he saw it in the second half

0:48:29.680 --> 0:48:32.239
<v Speaker 1>the season, thought Okay, that's how it's supposed to look.

0:48:32.600 --> 0:48:35.680
<v Speaker 1>But there's also an element of and if he didn't

0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:37.759
<v Speaker 1>talk about this, some players did on the day after

0:48:37.800 --> 0:48:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the season or on getaway Day, there's also an element

0:48:41.880 --> 0:48:46.600
<v Speaker 1>of what it takes all season mentally to be a

0:48:46.600 --> 0:48:48.840
<v Speaker 1>team that goes it goes and wins in the playoffs.

0:48:49.239 --> 0:48:51.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what Doug wants, is what the team wants. In

0:48:51.600 --> 0:48:54.000
<v Speaker 1>that comment, I think that was there too of I

0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:57.040
<v Speaker 1>expect this team next year to approach the entire season

0:48:57.440 --> 0:48:59.439
<v Speaker 1>as if we're going to go win that second round game.

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Plenty of guests coming up, if they haven't posted already

0:49:03.400 --> 0:49:05.920
<v Speaker 1>on Jaguars dot Com or Jaguars Social media or the

0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:10.120
<v Speaker 1>podcast network, and the coming days they will, including Peter King,

0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:13.239
<v Speaker 1>who you caught up with today NBC Sports. Always fantastic

0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and had a chance to listen in to some of

0:49:15.400 --> 0:49:17.799
<v Speaker 1>that conversation between you two, and you're gonna love it

0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:20.360
<v Speaker 1>once you hear that coming up with Charles Davis with

0:49:20.560 --> 0:49:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Greg Cosell. I think that's coming up tomorrow on the

0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:25.480
<v Speaker 1>podcast Network. Just to name a few. I mean Morristons,

0:49:25.520 --> 0:49:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Drew caught up him, Jay and I know it was

0:49:27.200 --> 0:49:29.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna leave somebody out. Yeah. Morris had some great things

0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:31.799
<v Speaker 1>to say about Shad Khan, about the team as a whole.

0:49:31.840 --> 0:49:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Morris really locked into the team this year. So his

0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:38.360
<v Speaker 1>insight into what this team is and was doing was

0:49:38.400 --> 0:49:43.280
<v Speaker 1>really interesting. And I Peter King, you know, a wealth

0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:47.000
<v Speaker 1>of knowledge and perspective on the combine. And he caught

0:49:47.040 --> 0:49:50.480
<v Speaker 1>up with Doug Peterson several times for his Monday Morning

0:49:50.760 --> 0:49:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I get what he calls the Football Mornings in America.

0:49:53.440 --> 0:49:55.840
<v Speaker 1>He caught up with him several times. So his insight

0:49:56.000 --> 0:49:59.919
<v Speaker 1>into Doug and this team I found very interesting. John,

0:50:00.120 --> 0:50:02.799
<v Speaker 1>well done and enjoyed the week. And we'll talk to

0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:05.279

0:50:05.280 --> 0:50:07.759
